Strange. I don't see such problems. Is there something special about
your system / graphics card / display?

That depends.

Depth perception through stereopsis in stereoscopic movies depends on
the viewing parameters, i.e. display geometry and viewer position. In
theory a single video file only works as intended in a limited number
of setups, and would have to be adapted for other setups.

Stereocopic video files produced for cinema might not work too well when
viewed with a typical 3D TV setup, and video files produced for 3D TV
might not work too well when viewed e.g. on a netbook.

The crude parallax adjustment in Bino (and other video players) can
sometimes help, but to do it right you would need a 3D transformation
and not just a 2D shift, and for that you need (at a minimum) depth
information for the left and right views - which is unavailable in most
cases.
